preventing the accumulation of cash
in the treasury to an indefinite
amount. Hence the necessity of
some such modification of the reve-
nue. laws as will prevent needless ac-
cumulations. There is now in the
treasury, latter every possible obli-
cation has been provided for" $780,
25S,701, which sum will every day
be added to. A careful estimate
shows that by the close of the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1883, the sur
plus in the treasury, above every
possible obligation created by ex-
isting laws, will be $140,000,0 600.
Obviously something must be done
to prevent the injury to business
men and taxpayers of taking so
much cash needlessly out Of cireula-
ton and putting it where it will
tempt Congress to unwise legisla-
ton. The Secretary is in perfect
agreement with the President that
the interest of the greatest number
will be best served by extinguishing
this surplus through reduction OF
tariff taxes.-Baltimor Sun.

THE COURIER JOURNAL.
The Courier Journal says: The
Presidents message will be read
with interest and admiration, which
grows almost to enthusiasm before
the end is reached. AS public
document, addressed by the Chief
Executive to Congress, and through
Congress to the people, it is a model.
The president shows familiarity
with affairs and with the vast net
work Of commercial force and laws
resting in human nature. which
must surprise his most ardent adj
mirers. 1t puts new hope into the
heart to see President dealing thus
courageously, clearly, concisely and
Complementary with a question
which politicians have always avoid
ed, and declaring to those to whom
Legislation is entrusted, that the sit
uation makes any further delay i'm
possible. Few public papers are as
positive, as direct, as free from dem
agogism, as is this message of the
President to the Fiftieth Congress.
1.-THE message opens to the democ-
racy new opportunities of usefulness.
1t will bring to the President and to
his party renewed confidence and
support. The President is earnest,
and he is aggressive, and SO clear,
and at the same time so temperate
is he, that the great conservative
masses will see that under such
leadership the democratic party is
fully competent to deal with this
perplexing problem. To the party
itself, the Presidents message makes
clear that in 1888 it will be tariff re-
form or nothing. No words could
have been spoken which will SO eff
fectually secure the harmony which
so many desire, as the clear, bold,
emphatic declaration of party prin-
ciples and party purpose coming
from the President.

well. The warm, mild days Of last
week reminded us more of spring
time than of winter. There is one
thing badly needed and that is a
sufficient amount of rainfall to raise
the waters. Some of the farmers
have found it difficult to obtain
water enough to supply their stock.

The bottom Fact.

The judge who passed sentenc
upon Herr Most, the anarchist, got
down very near the bottom facts in
the whole business.
His address to Most ought to be
read to the American people en- mass.
1t ought to be read before the party
conventions which assemble next
year to make their platforms And
it, and like exhortations, ought to
be echoed through the halls of Con
gress until the whole country shall
be aroused to the peril Of unrestrict-
ed immigration, and until Americans
shall resolve, once more, to rule
America, while yet the balance of
power is in their hands.
The following brief extracts from
the address referred to, are sugges-
tive of its character:
1t seems that you have
yourself avowed sentiments that
make the American people believe
that you are an enemy to their insti-
buttons, that you are an enemy to
their government, and in the main
believe that the people of this coun-

"Here they were, leaving a country

What Am I to Do?

The symptoms of Biliousness are
unhappily but too well known They
differ in different individuals to
some extent. A Bilious man is sell
dom a breakfast eater. Too fire.
quently, alas, he has an excellent
appitite for liquids but none for
solids of morning. His tongue
will hardly bear inspection at any
time; if it is not white and furred, it
is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly
out of order and Diarrhea or Con
stipation may be symptom or the
two may alternate. There are often
Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddiness and often
headache and acidity or fatulence
and tenderness in the pit of the stom-
ach. To correct all this if not eff
feet cure try GREEN'S august Floac-
en-, it costs but trife and thousands

CleyeIaudss Foot.

We heard some one remark on
Cleveland's message that she had
put his foot in it.
That explains it.
We wonder what had kicked up
such rumpus.
Nothing that hadn't the kicking
power could have created such con-
sternation.
Cleveland is saia, to have good
sized foot, and when he does kick
he does execution. 1t is no cause of
surprise therefore, that when Cleye-
land puts his foot in anything that
there should be Settlement.
How that message did make the
republican statesmen dust
Blaine felt the shock three thous-
and miles away!
John Sherman thought that light
ming had struck him.
The fact is, it has put the whole
republican party on a dead run.

The Hard Water Army.

There are some people in town
who say that hard water is good
enough for them.
And we are not surprised at that
Hard water is good enough for a
fellow who don't care whether his
face is clean or dirty; whether his
linen is white or brown; whether
his dinner-plate is bright or greasy;
whether his coffee is fiat or flavor
GUS; whether his victuals are tough
or toothsome; and whether things
generally are hard and horrible.
Nothing surprising about that.
There are lots. of such people in
the world.
There are people hard enough not
to know hard water when they are
swimming in it.
Hard water suits them.
Hard water was probably made
for that kind of "critters,' for it is
of very little use to anybody else.
